Scripture:
Ps. 60:12
Through God we shall do valiantly …
(Swedish version: “With God we can do mighty things …”)
Comment:
We need to think bigger.
It is so easy to limit what God can do through us, when we look at ourselves, instead of seeing who God is in us. When we think about our own ability and our circumstances, we will not even get close to what God is able to do through us.
Some one might say: “But what if I become haughty or proud, and start dealing with what is too big for me?” Yes, there is such a ditch, but just because there is a ditch on the other side of the road, doesn’t mean we should stay in stay in ‘the ditch of impossibility’.
There is a certain demonically inspirited way of thinking in the world. In Scandinavia we even regard the phenomena as a ‘law’, the Jante law. Examples of such thoughts, becoming strongholds, are, “So, you think you are better than us?” or “Du you think you are smarter than us?” or “Who do you think you are, trying to perform super natural acts?”. Those strongholds need to be torn down. They are dwelling places for demons. The purpose behind those thoughts is to limit you, especially regarding what God wants to do through you.
The Word of God gives us the truth:
Eph. 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
It’s not about our ability, but God’s ability through us. He is able to do EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY above ALL that we ask or think. When we understand and believe that, we are on our way to be more useful for God.
